Our Grantmaking Priorities

The grants we make annually through the competitive process reflect the pursuit of a collective vision - together with generous partners - of a healthy, thriving, sustainable Eastern Connecticut.

In 2015, we sought to bring some focus to this grantmaking, crystalized through an 18-month long strategic planning process of research, consultation with experts and conversations with donors, nonprofits, and community leaders which culminated in four "pillars" to guide our efforts to create meaningful and positive change that advances the well-being of Eastern Connecticut.
